new build time.
I have rode steel now for 10 years or so .

now I will put it away so it wont get dirty

Re: new build time.
Very nice ... any reason why you went for the carbon rather than Ti fork?
May the bridges you burn light your way
Re: new build time.
Sweet ride indeed, and I thought the same thing. If pushing the boat out, no carbon rims or stem. Bet it shifts still.

Re: new build time.
I haven't rode it yet scott,
only a lap around the block 200mtrs tops
I went for the enve fork for no other reason than they look good and i am a tart
but also i heard that some ti forks can be a tad flexy ,so didnt want to take the gamble and have to change them in the future

Re: new build time.
Yes, should have said, it does look amazing!

She looks even better in the flesh, and at the moment is in our bedroom so I don't know where I am sleeping later
Re: new build time.
I am so glad Stooge's are one size fit's all (and I'm too tall).
Bloody lovely that.

Re: new build time.
Ahh, a thing of beauty!
Was thinking about snapping up the purple one you had in the classifieds a while back, but I shall have to start saving for a Ti one of my own.
Enjoy!!!!
I don't think you're going to stop grinning for a while.

The Ti can be customised. Should I have told you this?ctznsmith wrote:I am so glad Stooge's are one size fit's all (and I'm too tall).

They're lovely bikes, I really like mine
Re: new build time.
nice one burty, I think the carbon fork looks better than the ti ones,
it's not that I can and others can't, it's that I will and others won't.
Re: new build time.
looks lovely
Re: new build time.
Any chance of full spec?
I went for
xt 8000 11 speed groupset inc brakes
Thomson seatpost and stem
enve mt fork
hope headset
jones h bend bars
esi extra chunky grips
hope endure wheel set
knard on the front
maxis minion rear
at the moment it is about 24 lb. but you could save a lot more if I changed the tyres as they are tubeless ones and kin heavy .
out of all the parts the tyres were the heaviest items.
the fork comes with its own carbon mudguard which clips onto the forks

Re: new build time.
That's really nice!!
trying to decide on a new frame for next season and torn between titanium or 853 really like the easy maintainence of a raw ti frame.
I'm trying to decide between a stooge and a shand I like the versatility of the shand between drive systems, but its not ti and always like my bikes to be as light as possible and biggest saving is in the frame so ti for me has a slight edge in that respect. Another stunning looking frame is field cycles but need to see what there frame costs are and suspect it might just be out of budget!
It seems that there is loads of choice in the bespoke handbuilt frame industry at the moment which is great but also makes choosing harder!
I'd be interested to see what your views on it are, although all the reports on the web are great, probably need to try and demo one somehow? Always seems the dangerous jump on a handbuilt frame your unable to demo one, unless I'm wrong on that one and someone can correct me.

Re: new build time.
Where are you stucowp? Most of the Stooge Ti owners seem to be Bearbones users and I'm sure you could get a shot of one if you're near any of us.
I'm in Edinburgh btw, there's another here too and one in Glasgow

Re: new build time.
I'm in the Yorkshire dales near Skipton. I don't mind traveling to try things really either always a good excuse to ride a different area.

Re: new build time.
Stuart ask Burty nicely, he's in Staffs or contact Andy at Stooge in Oswestry.

Re: new build time.
Biggest weight saving is going from gears to SSalways like my bikes to be as light as possible and biggest saving is in the frame so ti
Re: new build time.
I'm really impressed with the weight of your bike ian, i'm considering running the lurcher SS over winter to see what it's like, only ever rode SS fixed on the road and I pick my routes carefully!Ian wrote:Biggest weight saving is going from gears to SSalways like my bikes to be as light as possible and biggest saving is in the frame so ti
Your shand is lovely and Stu Rider suggested it, wasn't something I'd considered steel, but really thinking about it now.

Can I take it that you have the 29er/650 version with shorter chain stays not the 29er+?
